See “About handling of your camcorder”

About menu items, LCD panel,
viewfinder, and lens
• A menu item that is grayed out is not
available under the current recording or
playback conditions.
• The LCD screen and the viewfinder are
manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, so over 99.99% of
the pixels are operational for effective
use. However, there may be some tiny
black points and/or bright points (white,
red, blue, or green in color) that appear
constantly on the LCD screen and/or the
viewfinder. These points are normal
results of the manufacturing process and
do not affect the recording in any way.
Do not expose your camcorder’s
viewfinder, lens, or LCD screen to the
sun or strong light source for extended
periods.
• Intense light sources, especially the sun
will converge on the viewfinder or lens
and damage the internal parts of your
camcorder. Avoid sunlight or other strong
light sources when storing your
camcorder. Protect this device by always
closing the lens cover or by placing it in
its bag when not in use.
About temperature of your camcorder
and battery pack
• Your camcorder has a protective function
that disables recording or playback if the
temperature of your camcorder or battery
pack is beyond the safely operable range.
In this case, a message appears on the
LCD screen or in the viewfinder (p. 99).
On recording
• In order to stabilize memory card
operation, it is recommended that you
format the memory card when you use it
with your camcorder for the first time. All
data recorded on the memory card will be
erased by formatting, and can not be
recovered. Save important data on the
memory card on other media such as a
computer, before formatting the memory
card.
• Before starting to record, test the
recording function to make sure the
picture and sound are recorded without
any problems.
• Compensation for the loss of the content
of recordings or the loss of recording
opportunities cannot be provided, even if
recording or playback is not possible due
to a malfunction of the camcorder, storage
media, etc., or even if images or sounds
are distorted due to the limits of the
capabilities of the camcorder.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. To view your
